To think Kanye West is abusing his ex wife in public?

First off want to be clear I’m no KK fan. I think on the whole the Kardashian’s steal a living and contribute little to society.

However KK is a woman and a mother and appears to be being abused very publicly by Kanye West.

Someone needs to take his insta password away from him, he has been on another posting spree this morning aimed at Kim and Pete Davidson and other public figures who have supported them, particularly this guy who made the very real point that if Kim Kardashian can’t extricate herself easily from an abusive man what hope does anyone else have?

I appreciate Kanye is an unwell man but I can only imagine the desperation and sense of helplessness KK has right now over the way the father of her children is behaving.

AIBU to think more people should be calling this out and not saying that he’s just a man who wants his wife back and he loves her so much he can’t bear to see her with anyone else. It’s abuse, plain and simple surely?

@avamiah

Firstly he is extremely wealthy and very famous and in my opinion that is what has kept him from being Sectioned under the Mental Health Act or whatever term is used over there to admit a person into a mental health hospital against their will for a initial assessment.
What has stopped this is undoubtedly that he is a man.

Britney Spears was one of the most famous women in the world at the time she was placed under conservatorship with a net worth (at the time) in the 100s of millions.

Didn't stop her being essentially locked up without assessment (proven in court) or consent for 13 years.

YANBU. I'm not a Kardashian (or Kanye) fan but the little I've seen is very disturbing. The people egging him on and calling his disgusting behaviour 'romantic' are as bad.

AmandaStaveleysBlackNWhiteArmy · 17/03/2022 14:56

I find it bizarre that even on here there are posters willing to defend his behaviour.

KW is being abused and humiliated by her new boyfriend, Pete someone or the other, posting that he’s in bed with his ex wife. Lowlife trash.
That text came after weeks of Kanye doing creepy, abusive shit to both of them, Pete shouldn't of sent it but I am not surprised he snapped back after so much abuse and bullshit from Kanye

Namechangestimes100 · 17/03/2022 15:46

Key point @whatajuckingfoke! Britney Spears’s ‘infamous’ behaviour was a lot more understandable too, hitting a car with an umbrella that’s been following you and won’t leave you alone, shaving head = shaking off old baggage and starting again, not wanting to hand her children back over. And given the state of what we know now about her family and how quickly she was ‘freed’ when she has adequate legal counsel. She never invited violence or publicly harassed her ex, never ran for president and talked about how she wanted to terminate one of her kids.

What’s protecting Kanye is the fact he’s a man and women are ‘crazy’ and men are ‘passionate’

JudyGemstone · 17/03/2022 15:54

None of the people involved sound great but Kanye’s behaviour is not acceptable.

I wonder what his mother would make of his misogynistic bullshit. They seemed to have a really close relationship and she was a highly intelligent academic, a professor. So it’s not like he’s not had experience of women working hard and being successful in their own right.

He really spiralled when she died, his previously more benign narcissistic traits became more pronounced and his relationship with reality became more precarious.

I believe he has a dx of bipolar disorder but there may well be an underlying ‘axis 2’ personality disorder also.

Malibuismysecrethome · 17/03/2022 18:05

If we are talking creepy and abusive what about KK’s new boyfriend and the sex with babies comments. She does pick them. I think KW is understandably angry that this person is around his kids.

WonderfulYou · 17/03/2022 18:40

In another episode, Kim went on holiday with Khloe and Kourtney. She called Kanye every morning and told him what she was planned to wear that day and he either approved it or disagreed and told her which outfit to put on.

Do you mean when they went to Japan not for a holiday but to promote Kanyes clothing?
KK was phoning him and asking what to wear as he created the outfits and she was there just for the photo shoots.

Some of his behaviour is not acceptable but the amount of lies on this thread and some of the names used for his SEND and MH issues are disgusting.

You can say you disagree with certain aspects of his behaviour without resorting to lying or using offensive language.

He's angry that he can't control her life, abusive men the world over do this shit. But nice whataboutery.
AmandaStaveleysBlackNWhiteArmy · 17/03/2022 19:09

Pete Davidson is a comedian, it’s his job to comment satirically on what are sometimes taboo or uncomfortable topics. I don’t think he’s out there saying he wants to have sex with babies. Now you may have the opinion that this is no laughing matter, and I would agree, but there is a difference between something being your own personal desire/opinion/bag and poking at it in the name of satire or ‘humour’.

I don’t believe for one second KW thinks his children are at risk from PD. It’s just another way to control Kim and maintain the narrative that KW has the right to behave this way because he’s concerned for his childrens welfare.

Malibuismysecrethome · 17/03/2022 19:10

It’s not whataboutery to disagree. KK divorced her first husband for controlling behaviour, KW was her third. I don’t see the Kardashians as victims.

Nootropical · 17/03/2022 19:20

KK divorced her first husband for controlling behaviour, KW was her third.

And? He's still abusive whether he's her first or tenth and not just to her but a whole host of other people to.

AngeloMysterioso · 17/03/2022 19:50

Kanye is just a misogynistic narcissistic horrible man and he always has been.

Indeed. And that didn’t bother Kim one little bit as long as she was getting Vogue covers and Met Gala invitations and it was other women at the receiving end of his abuse. In fact she actively participated in the abuse of Taylor Swift and seemed to think it was great fun.

Now it’s directed at her, suddenly it’s a problem.

VladmirsPoutine · 17/03/2022 20:00

I don't know if anyone here has ever heard of Kris Jenner?

What Kanye is doing is music to her ears. I don't deny he's spiralling and behaving in a disrespectful way to his ex wife but look at that family. They are lapping this up. The further Kanye spirals the more they smile.

Frankola · 17/03/2022 20:10

I totally agree.

I feel very uncomfortable watching this play out as its becoming increasingly threatening and dangerous.

The worst of it is that he is now roping in his kids.

Whilst I'm no KK fan, to watch her take the high road and refuse to engage with this is very admirable.

She seems to just want to get on with her life and he's absolutely refusing to let her. Its abuse.

It also seems to now be escalating at an alarming rate. The way he is carrying on he is going to end up hurting someone or sectioned.

ItsDisneyBitch · 17/03/2022 20:19

He is an abusive prick. The point Trevor Noah made was extremely good. If KK and all her billions can’t keep him at bay then what chance have the rest of us got.

It’s no longer entertainment KW is baying for blood, it’s a horrible thought but I think someone will end up getting hurt.

Judging by the text messages - PD isn’t spending time with the children.
MrsBerthaRochester · 17/03/2022 20:25

She was on the Ellen show saying she thought it was "cute" that pete has her name BRANDED on his chest. She is a big a cunt as kanye and her and her family are encouraging it all for ratings.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 17/03/2022 20:46

They are all awful. Kanye is being abusive. Kim is not putting her children first either though, she shouldn't be having her new boyfriend in her kids lives so soon, is she even divorced yet? Apparently Pete was at North's birthday party so he is around the kids. It's not like she hasn't got babysitters and nannies if she wants a dating life.

Pete shouldn't be getting involved either.

No one here is coming off well.

North’s birthday isn’t until June...
Waxonwaxoff0 · 17/03/2022 21:11

@tabulahrasa I must have got the kids names mixed up, it was the other daughter's birthday party, the one Kanye said he was banned from attending.

Quirkyme · 17/03/2022 21:20

Second update from me....

He's now been banned from Instagram.

tabulahrasa · 17/03/2022 21:26

@Quirkyme

Second update from me....

He's now been banned from Instagram.

He’s on a 24hr ban for using racial slurs against Trevor Noah.

Yesterday he posted the name of the school his kids go to.
